Do you feel like your life lacks meaning or purpose? Do you wonder if God has a plan for you? The truth is, God has called each of us to a mission of profound significance. Jesus taught his disciples that they had a mission to go out and tell the world.

Have you ever felt lost, wondering who you really are or what your purpose is? You're not alone. Even as adults, many of us struggle with questions of identity and worth. But what if I told you that the King of the universe wants to adopt you? Let’s explore the powerful truth of our identity in Christ, drawing wisdom from Paul's letter to the Ephesians.

As Dallas Willard wisely put it, "A disciple [of Jesus] is a person who has decided that the most important thing in their life is to learn how to do what Jesus said to do." Let’s explore how Jesus shaped his disciples through divine encounters and what that means for us as modern-day followers.

There is a transformational power in being chosen, in being welcomed, in being loved unconditionally that can change the course of someone's future. We see this transformational power on display when Jesus chooses his first disciples.
